15. My Dearest ReaderNow is the time for us to say goodbye. We have traveled a long and somewhat bumpy road together, you and I. You have seen me at my very best, and then turned the pages to catch me at my worst. Do you understand me now? I fear not, but at least I can hope that the glimpses of my life that I have given to you will be enough to hold strong in your memory until you go to your grave.
I did not ask for forgiveness in my final hours, just as now I do not ask you to forgive me. Please just accept me for what I have done and try to find it in your heart to understand why I had to take those fateful steps. I am a man of passion, intelligence and conviction: do not hold it against me. As for my good friend 'R', I am sure that one day he too will share his story with you.
You no
